Friday/ good numbers

The U.S. economy added 321,000 jobs in November.  IMG_6278 smThe economy has now added at least 200,000 jobs for 10 straight months, the longest such stretch in more than 30 years. In Oklahoma City a gallon of gas goes for $1.99 .. the first time in the US that has happened since July 2010.    Finally, the Dow Jones Industrial Average continues to go higher and almost got to 18,000 this week.  I had to look it up and remind myself that it was at 6,626 in March 2009 !   Yikes .. so starting to look a little scary, quite frankly.  The rest of the industrial world is still not doing great.
